Type One Energy Group’s Post

DIII-D congratulates the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on the two-year anniversary of the Administration’s Bold Decadal Vision for Commercial Fusion Energy. Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program participants such as Tokamak Energy are already utilizing DIII-D resources to advance their fusion energy work. DIII-D supports the public-private partnerships needed to accelerate efforts to bring fusion to the grid by providing industry participants with an active facility for material & operational testing and access to an international, multi-disciplinary team of experts. The plasma environment testing and high-performance computing capabilities of DIII-D are applicable to many approaches to fusion, not just tokamaks, as DIII-D provides a platform to discover the best route to fusion through experimentation rather than prescriptively defining a single path. Interested companies can complete the process to join the DIII-D Research Program in as quickly as a single day, making partnering with DIII-D a highly cost-effective and efficient way to advance commercial efforts. We look forward to continuing to help advance all efforts to achieve the goal of economically viable fusion energy production laid out in the Bold Decadal Vision!

💡𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 🌍   As we approach the end of 2023, let's draw inspiration from the evolution of energy sources that have shaped our journey through time.   Evidence suggests that human ancestors began using fire, by burning biomass, dating back as early as one million years ago. Fast forward to the 18th-19th Century in England, coal began the first energy transition, driving the Industrial Revolution. In the 20th Century, oil and gas provided abundant yet environmentally costly energy solutions, revolutionizing transportation, and energy generation. As we close the chapter on these unsustainable practices, humanity stands at the threshold of a new energy transition - one powered mainly by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen, returning to a renewable and eco-friendly resource.   While the buzz around hydrogen grows louder, skepticism lingers. In the corridors of public discourse, many recognize its significance, yet privately, some contest its potential. Nevertheless, like any transformative innovation, some hydrogen applications may fail, but the overarching trend is clear - hydrogen will become a fundamental piece in the intricate puzzle of the energy transition. The key question remains: where are we on the S-Curve pattern of hydrogen innovation? Join me in exploring this in-depth in 2024.   Hydrogen's association with life is not novel; life on Earth relies on hydrogen (fusion within the sun), just as our future could pivot on its sustainable applications. From energy production and storage to transportation and manufacturing, hydrogen promises a cleaner, more sustainable tomorrow.   🌟 As we step into 2024, let's embrace the transformative power of hydrogen.

⚡️ A nation's prosperity depends on a reliable energy supply system and fusion must be part of the future energy mix. “60% of the fusion companies out there expect to see power plants on the grid by 2035 – that is in reach,” said Heike Freund at #DLD24. Key facts on why it’ll be a reality sooner than anticipated are: 🚀 Major scientific milestones in fusion technology were reached, like the first-ever energy gain at the National Ignition Facility in the US. 🛠️ Essential underlying technologies, like advanced lasers, magnets, and materials, have reached a critical maturity, meeting the requirements for commercial application. 👀 Private funding in the industry is at an all-time high, and VCs expect returns soon enough to invest. This increase aligns with public support initiatives, including the Bavarian Master Plan and the German Fusion Strategy. 🤝 The first power purchase agreement for fusion energy has already been signed by Microsoft, expecting fusion energy in 2028. At last week's DLD Conference in Munich, Heike highlighted progress in fusion on a panel with Markus Blume, Minister at the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts , Antonia Schmalz of SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen, and Francesco Sciortino, CEO of Proxima Fusion, moderated by Ann-Kristin Achleitner. They shared a blueprint to foster fusion technology here in Germany, including boosting university research, investing in talent, adopting a milestone-driven approach, preparing the supply chain, and prioritizing efficient and swift implementation of a regulatory Framework. Thanks to the DLD Conference, for the amazing conference!

It can be tough to explain the vast potential of fusion energy and TAE’s unique approach to the technology. Yet, our CEO Michl Binderbauer managed to give a profoundly detailed explanation in less than 10 minutes.
